The Justice Department is defending Attorney General Jeff Sessions' use of the term "Anglo-American heritage." Sessions made the comment yesterday during a speech to the National Sheriffs Association. A Justice Department spokesman pointed out that Anglo-American law is a common legal term to describe the shared legal heritage between England and America. The term prompted some Democratic lawmakers to cry foul.
